# About me

I’m a poet intent on finding new and creative ways of expressing myself – your critique will help me develop even further.

Like many poets who start at a young age, I particularly enjoyed using rhythm and rhyme in my writing to add structure to my perception of a world in chaos. Naturally, I’ve since developed into an adult who is no longer as afraid and naïve, but still longing to make sense of the complexity of human behaviour.

I experiment with many techniques, especially using subtle detail that will delight the reader with a fine eye. Topography, punctuation, onomatopoeia, and even deliberate mistakes in spelling or grammar can add to the effect of my poetry - often critical to finding its hidden messages of inner conflict or hope.

If you’d like to join us on Doctrinaire , you’d be pleasantly surprised at the efficacy of our membership (none of whom we guarantee clinically sane) – it truly is a magnificent theatre of poetry and prose.



In the end my work will just have to speak for itself.

Current Residence: Nelspruit, South Africa

When you feel like you have nothing, that is when a smile means everything. My mom taught me to smile at everyone. She always told me that the smile that you give someone might be the only smile that they have gotten all day, and you never know how important that might be. My world has fallen apart on me enough times to know of what I speak, and I know that what my mom taught me is true. Smiles are free and they are always in stock. Loved your journal entry "Spread the love", which prompted me to write this (sorry it's so long). To wrap it up, if anyone is reading this, I encourage them to smile at someone who looks like they could use it, like someone you know, or even a stranger, and if they give you a funny look who cares. The majority of people do find it odd, which is sad. However, the days that you will brighten makes it more than worth it. I promise.

You and mommy dearest are absolutely right! Just like one can paricipate in the deviantART community projects, one can participate in real life. A smile is the Like button of the real world.

Don't apologise for lengthy comments - it means you have a lot to say and I'm sure as shapoopie not gonna stop you from saying it.

The only thing I don't get is the anger emoticon you placed in this comment. How strange...

I read your entire gallery.... i've never done that before! I love the way you use words -- it's obvious that you choose them carefully (something which more people ought to do, probably...), and put them together JUST SO, so they say exactly the right things. Your writing really made me stop and think, and i liked that! Thank you!



P.S.: Here are some pants: Maybe you can be promoted now?

Wowzer
That must have been quite a lot of detail to through. You have the descipline of a to be to do that.

I totally agree - I pick my words and the way I use them ver carefully. I'm a perfectionist.

It is I that should thank you, first for your appreciation of what I love to do, and secondly for the pants.

It was... but it was totally worth it! Like i said, it really made me think, which was great! And how did you know i was a ninja?? (just promise not to tell, okay? )

I could really tell... and honestly, i think that's what makes for a good poet -- that ability to pick just exactly the right words to say what you want to say. That's what sets poetry apart from other types of writing, in my opinion!

So anyway, you're more than welcome, for both the appreciation and the pants! I hope you get great enjoyment from them!

No problem. I like your style. Why didn't you participate in the competition currently running? It would be awesome if you did. I love entering everytime, just to keep the competitive spirit going in this great group of ours. This time, I entered Affectionate Philanthropy and I'm hoping to win. Speaking of which, did you know you can vote for entries even if you didn't submit anything? It's just our way of getting everyone in the group to participate.

That's funny you mention it because I just read your entry and I like it. As for me well I've been thinking about entering one of these for some time. But it's hard for me to write on prompt and for this particular contest the love thing just doesn't work for me much these days. Still I know I’ll get around to entering one of these things soon.

Different strokes for different blokes, eh? Just don't give up on the L word - it's not as deadly a poison as they say it is.
To vote, simply send a note to with a vow of your eternatl devotion to our dark cause statement of who you'd like to see win. Democracy rocks!

No problem, Jenni. I know good art when I see it, and chances are, being a part of , it is good art. What would please me even more is for you to participate in our prompt competitions, such as the one that I submitted my poem Affectionate Philanthropy , to. Even if you don't submit writing for the competition, members of are still allowed to vote on their favourite pieces - the more voters, the more accurate the result, so vote away.

Oh yeah, I didn't specify.
I meant that I liked your being captain of pants. But Hector's a pretty good name anyway 'cause I don't really know a lot of Hectors, which is good because that means your name is not common, and not being common is--

Ah, I ramble. Sorry bout that.
